I134 Research and Development on a Regenerative Brayton Cycle Machine for Power Generation Using Waste Heat : Operating Principle and Proto-Type Machine

Abstract

In response to today's environmental and energy issues, the civilian sector desires a reduction of CO2 emissions as well as energy saving. In order to deal with such issues, this study will effectively use existing waste heat such as cogeneration systems, boilers and so on. Therefore, power generation by Brayton cycle machine and waste heat recovery systems (hot water supply and heat-driven air-conditioning equipment) are used for research and development. Here, in the development of integrated 500W Brayton engine generator, verification of operating principle and characterization of component will be announced.
